Never mind. Just found it on the other site. I'm in, kid can play.

Could someone please post the video so we can all see what this non-recruit looks like. This guy appears to becoming a legend! Thanks

Yes with Lovie and this staff the recruiting season will have a life of its own. It will be fun. For those who count stars, we will probably see a serious bump there, but what I am looking for is the offer lists of the recruits we target. If we can get in the door(and we should) with guys that...

Yep, many posters who have seen him play seem to feel that way. Seems like a set up to replay the Ulis, Watson, etc... non recruitment. We all know how that turned out.

Totally agree. What's worse is that it seems like every PG Groce has missed on has gone on to provide the exact skill and leadership on their respective teams. It is hard to watch Notre Dame, Villinova, Oklahoma State, and L'ville and just shake your head and the "what could have been" It is...

And walk on water according to Barb Wilson's Whitman intro speech. Don't get much better than that. Perfect!

You know the way all of this has played out, it is no surprise that Barb Wilson while introducing Josh Whitman as the new AD alluded to him being able to "walk on water". I thought it was great praise for someone with no experience at D1 level. Seems like the lady may have known something was...

Correct. And it appears that the Coach is heading in the same direction as in past years with the 2017 class. He seems to be heavily invested in the Illinois guys and a few other name players from out of state. All excellent players, but if he wiffs on the selected few (as before )we have no...

This is great news for sure. As noted, good in State talent, big, quick, and loves the Illini, and a DT to boot. I am kind of thinking that this Illini staff kind of gets it with the recruiting stuff as of late. It certainly doesn't hurt on this one that he is a DT that will fill a immediate...

Yep those were the days. Unfortunately Tracy well be asked to return to form with two bad wheels. The mental challenge of all this is daunting let alone the physical side of things. I remain very skeptical that he can return and be the kind of contributor many people are counting on. I really...

Yep maybe a little to quick on the draw there. Did you notice in the same summary of JC recruiting that there is a WR from Dodge City named Jeff George? How about picking this kid up.....could be a Jeff George II to Jeff George connection someday.

You are correct....it was the OL coach to Mizzou....I'm still whizzed off about the DL situation however....mixed old business with new. Nice catch and thanks for the correction alert.

Absolutely.....what is not to like? Seems like he really loves to hit people, even on offense.

Interesting note on the Quinn Oselund recruitment. My brother ran into Quinn's father at a local health club recently. He said the Mr. Oselund was really surprised that his son chose Minny, he thought it was going to be Illinois all the way. It was totally Quinn's decision. However, the loss of...
